Butterfly cupcakes

Happy 5th Birthday, Kate!

My girl, Kate, turns 5 on Sunday. I cannot believe she was born five years ago! Insane. Unlike last year, where she refused to be four, she is quite excited at turning another year. She was very specific about what type of cupcakes she wanted...chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing, pink sprinkles and butterflies. I hope this satisfies her requirements. I'm not super thrilled with the way they turned out. I tried to be cute with the roses, and I'm not convinced that it wouldn't have looked better with just piping the icing on in a swirl. One thing I can be sure about...they are delicious! I used Martha Stewart's One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake recipe. YUM!!! Matt, who is feeling slightly better by the way, went back for seconds...and thirds. I guess that's a good sign!

Welcome!

My name is Alison, and I'm married to an impossibly handsome man who makes me laugh constantly. He's super supportive of my baking endeavors as he gets to be my taste tester and have the "messups." And there are plenty of cake disasters!
